41. THE CONSERVATION OF BREAD CRUMBS.

42. In a recent Ladies' Home Journal, Mrs. Anna B. Scott gave some good advice on saving every crumb, from which we quote:

43. "It doesn't sound reasonable, does it? The bare words, 'a crust of bread,' call to our minds a picture of the verge of starvation. Literature speaks of crusts of bread as the extreme low- est limit in the scale of foods. And so we have come to regard these crusts as something rather to be despised In the economy of the household.

44. "And stale bread! It is scarcely more highly regarded. Everybody de- mands fresh bread, and there is noth- ing but pity for the person who must use stale bread for the sake of his stomach.

45. "Crumbs too? Why, crumbs are mere debris in 90 per cent of the kitchens. Did you ever think to save the crumbs from the bread board? There are housekeepers who would be ashamed to be caught in the act of conserving these tiny crumbs!

46. "Now think of the economy that would result from the utilization of these crusts and crumbs and the stale bread. A statistician probably would figure it out away up in the millions per annum for the United States, but you can figure it out yourself in your own household.

47. "In these days when the cost of food is getting higher every day, every little bit counts — even the crumbs — and so following are a few recipes for their uses in this wartime."

48. And then gives seven recipes for using up bread crumbs economically. Two of these recipes come within the scone of our work this week, and we will analyze them to see Just how- economical they are — the first is:
